Perceptions of brazilian nursing faculty members regarding literacy of human rights related to health in nursing undergraduate programs

Abstract

Background In the context of global health, the work of nurses is of key importance, given their role as diplomats in global health and as fundamental forces in the construction of global partnerships. This study seeks to identify the understanding and perceptions of Brazilian nursing faculty members regarding literacy of human rights related to health in nursing undergraduate programs. Methods Methodological, quantitative and cross-sectional study carried out with nursing faculty members from 20 Brazilian higher education institutions. For the data collection, the Brazilian version of the Basic Core Competencies in Global Health questionnaire was used, available on the website Survey Monkey. In this article, the answers related to the domain “Health as a human right and development resource” were assessed. Descriptive statistics were applied, as well as Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Results In total, 222 questionnaires were completed. As for the domain “Health as a human right and development resource”, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient corresponded to 0.839 for the three domain items. Most of the participants fully agreed on the relevance of the contents related to the theme for nurses’ education. Conclusions It is essential that nurses have contact with human rights international instruments that influence implementation of health and health research policies, though this content’s treatment is still incipient in Brazilian nursing programs.

Political, Historical and Social Features of the Human Right to Health

“…Each of these structures of universal construction contributes to the formation of properties and attributes of the being, of the entity of being endowed with health -which is if not another, precisely what differentiates it within this set. In turn, the attributes of human rights may include the normative conjunctures by which rights mediate relations between society (holders of claims) and the State (holders of social obligations); regulatory scenarios in terms of fundamental principles governing and creating their own structuring structure; and also, the procedural context given that every right implies the questioning and claim of those who feel harmed by the non-compliance with the rule (HAIGH et al, 2019;VENTURA et al, 2019).…”

Conceitos E Fundamentos Dos Direitos Humanos Para Profissionais De Enfermagem Em Unidade De Emergência

“…Nas relações de cuidado na saúde, especialmente na Enfermagem, faz-se necessário que a enfermeira tenha contato com os instrumentos internacionais (e nacionais) de Direitos Humanos que influenciam a implementação de políticas de saúde e pesquisa em saúde (4) , o que contribuirá para a compreensão desses direitos, contemplados também no Código Internacional de Ética para Enfermeiras(os), garantindo, assim, o respeito e a proteção dos Direitos Humanos.…”
